The final ball of the 21st over shoots along the ground, and Richie Berrington does well to drop his bat on it.

More evidence of this pitch's tricky nature.

Saqib Zulfiqar's first poor delivery is put away for four by Brandon McMullen.

Full, down the leg-side, and McMullen pounces on it to sweep past short fine-leg.

10 off the over.

Brandon McMullen skips down to Bas de Leede, who spots him coming and bangs one in short.

No bother for McMullen, who pulls handsomely for four. Pietersenesque, that.

A wide down the leg-side means that five runs come from De Leede's fifth.

Saqib Zulfiqar continues to give nothing away, but Richie Berrington and Brandon McMullen are content to take the singles on offer.

The slow nature of this wicket, and indeed the variable bounce on display is evidenced by a short of a length delivery from Bas de Leede that Brandon McMullen punches aerially through the covers for four.

Max O'Dowd was interested at short extra cover for a split-second.

Anyhow, McMullen moves to 30 from 44 balls, and it's time for a drink.

I'm away for a cuppa.

Saqib Zulfiqar's leg-spin is into the attack, and he's landing them nicely.

Three runs from his first over, and perhaps the most speculative appeal I've ever seen for lbw.

Pitched a good couple of feet outside leg...

Richie Berrington defends his first ball back to Bas de Leede, and that's the end of the 15th over.

Scotland could do with a captain's knock here.

Scott Edwards wants a second look at this...

George Munsey attempts to pull a short ball from Bas de Leede, and the Dutch wicket-keeper thinks he got a tickle on it.

The bowler didn't appeal at all.

A low-key over from Aryan Dutt - just a couple of singles from it.

Some sloppy fielding from Netherlands sees Scotland come through for an overthrow, and the next ball is tickled down to fine-leg for four by George Munsey.

Seven from it in total.

Brandon McMullen uses his feet, and punches Aryan Dutt over long-off for the first six of the contest.

It's a beautiful shot, not trying to overhit, and showing the full face of the bat - he holds the pose for good measure, and well he might.

The boy can play.

George Munsey is the new man, and he doesn't want to let Aryan Dutt settle into his work.

Scotland's powerfully southpaw attempts to reverse sweep over short third, but doesn't get all of it.

His heart will have stopped for a second, but the fielder can only tip it over the bar, and he gets off the mark fortuitously.

Chris McBride allows himself a couple of sighters at Clayton Flyod, and then springs into action.

First, a gorgeous square drive skips away for four, before the young Scotland opener pulls aerially for four more.

Nine from the over, and that's the powerplay done. Scotland have recovered well from the loss of Matthew Cross in the first over.

Logan van Beek drops ever-so-slightly short again, and Chris McBride hacks one through the leg-side for four more. It's not pretty, but there aren't any pictures in the scorebook.

A risky single is then taken to mid-off, but the Dutch fielder fumbles and McBride breathes a sigh of relief.

Five from the over, and we're going to see spin for the first time - Clayton Floyd is into the attack.

Chris McBride's first boundary comes courtesy of a thick outside edge that goes over cover point and skips away to the fence - you take them.

McBride and Brandon McMullen exchange three singles to complete a productive over.

Logan van Beek is asking questions, operating on a good length and utilising the variable bounce on offer.

However, Brandon McMullen punishes the Dutch opening bowler when he drops short, belting a pull shot for four over midwicket.

Chris McBride and Brandon McMullen continue to consolidate after the early dismissal of Matthew Cross.

There was a scrambled single from the third ball of that Ryan Klein over, but McBride just about made his ground.

Just a couple of singles from Logan van Beek's third over.

Brandon McMullen found the middle of the bat on a couple of occasions there, but was foiled by some good Dutch fielding.
